ENI-Ecofining-pdf.pdf (Oggetto application/pdf) Eni to Build Renewable Diesel Facilities Using UOPs Ecofining Biomass Hydrogenation Technology. Eni to Build Renewable Diesel Facilities Using UOP’s Ecofining Biomass Hydrogenation Technology Eni S.p.A. will build a production facility using UOP’s “Ecofining” technology to produce diesel fuel from the catalytic hydroprocessing of vegetable oils.
The facility, to be located in Livorno, Italy, will process 6,500 barrels per day of vegetable oils to supply European refineries with a high-cetane renewable diesel fuel. It will be the first facility to use the Ecofining technology developed jointly by UOP and Eni. UOP has already completed the basic design for the first unit, which is expected to come online in 2009. 2_PNair02.pdf (Oggetto application/pdf)
